Hi, I'm David.

I do marketing and creative for Archie McPhee, a toy and novelty company in Seattle, Washington. I have helped develop and launch over 3,000 products, including the Yodelling Pickle and Handerpants. I write all the copy for Archie McPhee.

I have a murder of crows that I am very devoted to.

I love deep dives on tons of different topics, such as toy history, novelty history, cults, outsider music, and weird stuff.

You aren't mourning a person, you're mourning a performance.

In The Truman Show, everyone that watched the 'end' of the show cried - Some cried because it was the end of something that they felt personally connected to, others cried because Truman was finally free to be himself.

We have a term, 'deadname', to represent the names we were given, parts we played, knowingly or not.

The part I played is over. The character, dead. What a miserable run.

As it is, I finally made it to the full license yesterday. Would not be possible without exceptional tutoring by one of the stars of the #bmwmotorrad training centre instructors.
For the past week I've been constantly riding, sometimes in the strong winds, sometimes in the pelting, icy rain, sometimes in both...
I've been shown what riding could be, that weather conditions is something that one needs to account for but by no means something that excludes a day from enjoyable riding!
I lost some weight through this week, I gained a lot more.
This was an exceptional experience in the very positive sense of the phrase, something unfathomable for the past me stuck on the North Circular riding my 125ccm bike.
And at some point in the February I'll pick up my new F750 GS... Can't wait. My #motorcycle journey has truly just started, despite all the years spent on the smaller bike.

Not sure if anyone knows the song "Black Me Out" by Against Me!, but I think one too many people pissed me off today. And I might just do what the lyrics suggest to the next person who pisses me off...#JustSaying #DontPissMeOff

Why did I, a woman who frequently hikes alone, decide Park Predators was the right podcast to start in Jan of 2023, the year my goal is to log 150 miles?

Did you ever wonder as you stand as still as the trees in a storm and feel the earth breathe under your feet and steady yourself as the air tries to dance with you that the memories old trees hold must be so vast only the wind is immense enough to bear it.

Listen more. It's worth it.
Yes I know. It's a day to be wistful in. 🌿

Mmhmm

This #missingperson is a friend of a friend of mine and his family is very worried about him. Please share this when it comes across your TL so we can get Ian home!! #SoCal #LongBeach #LongBeachCA

With all the negativity of the current news cycle, it's easy to forget that most people are basically decent.

Here's a little story about what happened to me today. I couldn't fit it into the 500-character posting limit, so put it up on my blog.

Another attack on transgender rights made by English media.
And also a even more implicit attack on Scotland .
